Everything Too Short
Union Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were my hero
You were my fucking...
You were my fucking...
You were my fucking hero
And he had a distant feeling, and he said he just don't know
She's got everything to breath now
Preachers will never fall apart
And he had a different face and she's no member of favour
She's begging for a little help to get down and hate down all over
All over everyone, all over everyone
All over everyone, all over everyone
It's too short everything is too short
It's too short everything is too short
Uhh I take it from my side to another side baby
Uh I get us in no sights, no sights I get in lost in or
Uh I take it from my side to another side baby
Uh I uh I feel so fucking beauty
Feel so beauty in you
Feel so good in you
Feel so good in you
It's too short everything is too short
It's too short everything is too short
Oh somebody said
Grow somebody said
Oh somebody said
Go somebody said that we should grow
You were my hero
You were my hero
You were my fucking...
You were my fucking...
You were my fucking hero
Go
I can't get no more
I can't get no more
Rise apartcan't get no more
Rise apart Rise apart
Rise apart can't get no more
Rise apart can't get no more
Rise apart
Rise apart
Rise apart
Yeah
The lyrics to the song "Everything Too Short" by Union Youth are difficult to interpret as they are quite abstract and lack a clear storyline. However, there is a recurring theme of disappointment and disillusionment with a hero figure. The main refrain of "You were my hero, you were my fucking hero" is repeated throughout the song and suggests a sense of betrayal or letdown by someone the singer looked up to. The verses are more cryptic, with references to an elusive "she" who seems to have everything but love, and preachers who will never fall apart. The chorus repeats the phrase "everything is too short" which could indicate a feeling of being unfulfilled or unable to grasp the good things in life.
The bridge offers a glimmer of hope, with the singer feeling beautiful and good in someone else's presence, but this is quickly overshadowed by the repetition of "Rise apart" which could suggest a sense of disconnection or despair. The final lines of the song, "Go, I can't get no more, rise apart" are repeated several times and seem to express a sense of finality or resignation.
Overall, the lyrics to "Everything Too Short" suggest a complex mix of emotions, including disillusionment, frustration, longing, and even a momentary glimpse of happiness. The repetition of certain phrases throughout the song creates a sense of urgency and intensity that matches the driving rock beat of the music.
